This is an absolutely wonderful write. Nothing I've read is a greater tribute to our forefathers who still take the credit for being some of the greatest men this country has ever known - or will likely ever know again.

What a great tribute and poem dedicated to our forefathers!....Its a keeper! Times were hard back then , but those brave men had a dream of freedom which would not be denied!
Its a great way to learn more about the history of our country!!!! Thanks for sharing this priceless write with us!........M

Karen this is moving, heartfelt, bites deep in the soul: even though my people were in slavery during the fight for Independence ! I truly admire the patriots men in women of valor during such a horrific time during our country's history and birth, which you describe vividly, and so eloquently! But thank God for men like Abraham Lincoln, also known as honest Abe because he could not be bought! He was a Christian man and believed in the eyes of Almighty God that all men are created equal! As so stated in The Gettysburg Address! I love you and thank God for you and Robert. Peace!!!

You have taken us back to the time when men stood for what they believed in, and did something about it. Thank you Karen for reminding us of the price our founding paid in writing and signing the Declaration of Independence and of the price our young soldiers pay with their lives to keep us an others free.

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister Barbie

It is good romance. But England had more pressing engagements with Napoleon. So we made a quick dash, got rid of the aristocracy and came to the rescue of Wellington. The King only wanted the new land for taxes to fight Napoleon. The Wesley's had tamed the new world. We tricked french to the americas as a decoy to keep england out of the amazingly clever Napoleon. I've seen Churchill's desk where he wrote every speech. He had a big busk of Napoleon and just a wee one of Nelson.

Now thit is a history lesson for sure!! Well done.
We celebrated Canada Day here on the 1st of July and for most Canadians it was great to see our Queen join us in celebrating our 143rd yr. I don't mind saying I enjoy our Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth as she definitely represents dignity. (my personal opinion)
The Declaration of Independence is definitely a history well preserved and you have done it so nicely. Imagine all those fine people fighting for their Independence all thse years ago.

This is awesome Karen
You make learning history so much more interesting than how I recall it
From school book days
And your photo too is really great to accompany this wonderful poem

Those that forget history are condemned to repeat it, I've often heard. Thank God you don't and remind the rest of us not to. Thank you, Karen -- this is beautiful and inspiring. One of your (many) bests -- Happy, safe 4th of July.

This is one great write and in itself a proud procalmation of the love you have for your country. You should definately have submitted this to publications as it is definately a work that says so much and perhaps at a time when Americans need to be reminded how so few can do so much for so many....
